Reading/Writing
Overcoming Learning Challenges
Near and Far Students launch the year by building their close reading
skills; they hear stories read aloud, read stories, and read more challenging
excerpts closely. Through stories they consider the challenges students
face with access to books and education around the world, and how
geography and where one lives in the world affect how one accesses
books. In Unit 3, students focus more on what it means to be a proficient
and independent reader. They continue to read literature about characters
who are motivated to learn to read and overcome struggles to do so.
Students assess their challenges as readers and identify strategies to
overcome those challenges. They write a reading contract in the form of a
three-paragraph informative essay, in which they describe two of their
learning challenges and some strategies to overcome those challenges, and
then create a bookmark outlining the strategies for quick reference when
reading.Science Social Studies
• Students will study • Students will learn
the human body to think like a
historian. They will
learn about
historical events and
the movement of
goods and ideas and
the impact they have
on local
communities.Working with Students at Home
• Have your child read 20 minutes each night.
Children who read 20 minutes a day are exposed to 1.8 million
words in one school year. Reading improves writing skills. It
expands vocabulary. Taking 20 minutes to read every day can
boost mental health.
• Students should be studying multiplication facts
Multiplication flash cards are a great way for students to study.
• TheWCPSSAcademics Youtube Channel is a great place to watch
videos and learn how math standards are being taught in class.
• Please review with your child the graded assessments that are
sent home (Tuesday Folder). All assessments must be returned to
school.Math • Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division. • Solve one and two-step problems. • Explore patterns of numbers. • Use place value to add and subtract. • Represent and interpret scaled picture and bar graphs.
